With the release of the Dark Corners Map Pack on Xbox LIVE this week, players are not only treated to seven new multiplayer maps, but also a bonus deleted scene that was cut from the final version of Gears of War 2. The deleted scene allows players to maneuver Marcus and Dom through the Road to Ruins either the traditional Gears way of barging through with guns-a-blazin, or donning Theron armor for a sneakier approach.
Just when I thought I had escaped the addictive grips of Gears of War 2, it seems there’s going to be an entirely new reason for me to play hours a day. Epic Games announced today they will be releasing the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection to retail outlets worldwide on July 28th.
The compilation will combine all previously released Gears of War 2 map packs (“Flashback”, “Combustible”, and the winter-themed “Snowblind” Map Packs), along with seven new mulitplayer maps and a deleted campaign chapter called “Road to Ruin” where you revisit the Locust Hollow as Marcus and Dom. The new campaign will allow players to approach it in two different ways: with guns a-blazin’ or stealthily. The Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection will also include a premium Xbox 360 theme, a strategy guide and a collectible poster for the low, low price of $19.99.
If you have all of the previous map packs, don’t you fret. The “Dark Corners” pack will include the seven new multiplayer maps and the deleted campaign chapter for 1,600 MS points. It will also be released on the Xbox Live Marketplace the day the retail version is.
Ahhhh, kids. They grow up so fast, don’t they? One minute they’re brace-faced toddlers trying to learn how to walk, and the next they’re brace-faced teens(?) promoting themselves on YouTube to gain internet friends when they fail at gaining real life companions.
In the video above, Pruane informs us that he is indeed on Xbox LIVE, talks about his favorite games, as well as showing off his sexy black controller. He seems like he’s on top of the world right now, doesn’t he? If I’ve learned anything in my time on this planet, it’s the fact that what goes up must come down. You’ll see what I mean after the break.
